<< GEORGIA RECORDS:
 There was a BUCKHEAD in St. George Parish in pre-Revolutionary days.  In
researching  "my" John Thomas(St Matthew's Parish, near the Salzburg
settlement), I had to  accumulate records on another John Thomas who was in
the next parish up the river,  i.e. St. George.  I do know that "my" John
Thomas lived in what would become  Effingham County.
 Anyway, in Plat Book C, page 365, August 1768 for St. George
Parish....Gideon(John"s son) Thomas was granted 200 acres on S side of Buck
Head..., and again in May 1771 he  was granted 100 acres on the west side of
little Buck head near the Mouth of the Boggy Branch of a Place called the
horse Pen.
 
 This could be the Buckhead you mentioned, or it could be a fairly common
name.
 Hope it helps...

Ramona - Thank you for this information. I've had several responses on where
the location of Buckhead may have been, and I sure appreciate them all. I'll
consider each crefully and start digging deeper. This location seems to me to
be the most logical and could be a good clue as to where my John Davis, Sr was
before Effingham Co. Thank you so much.
